i like sharks and i hate when they are portrayed as evil killers - and even worse: when they are hunted because of something that is far from true

So you have been sitting on a surfboard when a shark has come up from behind, become entangled in your leg rope and then started to thrash about knocking you off the board and pulling you under water?
